H. Res. 173

                In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

                                                          May 20, 1993.
    Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this resolution the Speaker 
may, pursuant to clause 1(b) of rule XXIII, declare the House resolved into the 
Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union for consideration of the 
joint resolution (S.J. Res. 45) authorizing the use of United States Armed 
Forces in Somalia. The first reading of the joint resolution shall be dispensed 
with. General debate shall be confined to the joint resolution and the 
amendments made in order by this resolution and shall not exceed one hour 
equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of 
the Committee on Foreign Affairs. After general debate the joint resolution 
shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. It shall be in 
order to consider as an original text for the purpose of amendment under the 
five-minute rule the amendment in the nature of a substitute recommended by the 
Committee on Foreign Affairs now printed in the joint resolution. The committee 
amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be considered as read. Points of 
order against the committee amendment in the nature of a substitute for failure 
to comply with clause 7 of rule XVI are waived. No amendment to the committee 
amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be in order except those printed 
in the report of the Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution. Each 
amendment may be offered only in the order printed, may be offered only by the 
named proponent or a designee, shall be considered as read, shall be debatable 
for the time specified in the report equally divided and controlled by the 
proponent and an opponent, shall not be subject to amendment (except that pro 
forma amendments for the purpose of debate may be offered by the chairman or 
ranking minority member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs), and shall not be 
subject to a demand for division of the question in the House or in the 
Committee of the Whole. At the conclusion of consideration of the joint 
resolution for amendment the Committee shall rise and report the joint 
resolution to the House with such amendments as may have been adopted. Any 
Member may demand a separate vote in the House on any amendment adopted in the 
Committee of the Whole to the joint resolution or to the committee amendment in 
the nature of a substitute. The previous question shall be considered as ordered 
on the joint resolution and amendments thereto to final passage without 
intervening motion except one motion to recommit with or without instructions.
            Attest:
